Green Pots used for drinking from by Members of the Temple (Vol. viii., p. 171.).—The green pots mentioned in Sir Julius Cæsar's letter had been introduced into the Inner Temple about thirty years before its date. This appears from the following passage in Dugdale's Origines Juridiciales (1680), p. 148., where he refers to the register of that Society, fol. 127 a.:
"Untill the second year of Q. Eliz. reign, this Society did use to drink in Cups of Ashen-Wood (such as are still used in the King's Court), but then those were laid aside, and green earthen pots introduced, which have ever since continued."
When were these green pots discontinued? Paper Buildings were erected nearly fifty years before Dugdale's time.
